Letters: Dangerous situation

Dangerous situation

I am trying to find someone to help us with a very dangerous situation. Our mailbox is located on the opposite side of our driveway, behind a guardrail at the bottom of a steep hill, so that, when a car is passing (normally at speeds above the posted 45 mph limit), there is barely anywhere to stand safely, especially when two cars are passing simultaneously!

On several occasions, my wife, who is in her 60s and suffers from fibromyalgia and arthritis, was almost struck by passing vehicles. We have contacted the post office who refuses to help us, saying their carrier would have to extend their route (by only a half-mile!). Their only solution is that we move our mailbox down the road at the end of the railing, which is ridiculous because it only increases the time we would be out on the road. Please, before there is a serious accident, help us. Our safety is at risk every day we check the mail. Thank you for your anticipated assistance.

We have contacted our local reps, who were of no help. We have contacted the USPS on several occasions. Today I wrote to the governor.

Republican cesspool

It has been said that Trump is dangerous because he is an imbecile. He is dangerous because as an imbecile he thinks he is a genius and has convinced his supporters he is telling the truth after having lied near 5,000 times since being elected President.

New on the Republican cesspool of corruption hall of fame is Chris Collins for insider trading and Mitch McConnell for receiving $22.5 million from a Russian businessman. Trump calls the FBI a cancer to our country. He says attacking the FBI is his crowning achievement. Since FBI protects us from our enemies does Trump become our enemy?

GOP tax cuts have resulted in decline in real wages while corporate profits soared, and Wall Street pay rose 13%. Year 2017 was the worst year for job creation in six years thanks to genius Trump. Meanwhile, Trump has the most vacation days, most golf played, lowest polls ever, most lies told and most indictments.

If not for Democrat-enacted laws like the Fair Labor Standards Act, Civil Rights and minimum wage the U.S. would be a Third World country with extreme poverty like never seen.

Trump and critics like Darrell Brechbill attempt to take away these protections showing a lack of self-discipline and respect for others resulting from non-military training. To not serve your country and only criticize Democrats who have enacted 42 laws on the history books like Social Security, Fair Labor Standards Act and Medicare that help ordinary people prosper makes them the problem and not the solution.

Republicans may blame Obama for everything, but the result is during eight years of Obama we had no scandals, no adultery, no bigotry, no collusion and no indictments.

A blue trickle

The results of the midterm election is now history, and if the election was a referendum on President Trump, the voters must be pleased with his performance.

Yes the Dems took the House (Congratulations) but the liberal media’s Blue Wave was nothing but a Blue Trickle. Republicans picked up Senate seats making administration and judicial nominations easier to confirm.

The so called "rising stars" in the Dem party - Beto O'Rourke, Stacey Abrams, and Andrew Gillum - all lost. I have to admit, I love these rising stars. They lost and are not in a position to implement their socialist agenda.

As usual the Dems and liberal media are taking the losses with their usual civility by blaming racism, sexism and voter suppression.

The left simply cannot stop playing their dog-eared and worn-out race card. The press conference with President Trump the day after the election was an interrogation of the President with the liberal media demanding a confession and admission by President Trump he is a racist.

His enforcement of existing immigration laws is unacceptable and they ignore President Trump's 35% approval rating with African Americans. To them this is evidence President Trump hates minorities.

The truth is they will never get over their hate toward the man who denied Hillary her birthright to be President.
Finally, the liberal media is giddy over all the "investigations" the Dems will now have as they assume control of the House. For some reason, it is now fashionable to have the opposing party investigate a sitting President.

They intend to get to the bottom of the Russian Collusion Delusion scandal and obtain Trump’s tax returns. I can’t tell you how many sleepless night I have had wondering what is in those tax returns.

It looks like America is in for a two-year replay of the Kavanaugh hearings and voters will see Dems are more at home on the set of Romper Room than having any political power.
